Strange Boat

The Waterboys

We're sailing on a strange boat
heading for a strange shore
We're sailing on a strange boat
heading for a strange shore
Carrying the strangest cargo
that was ever hauled aboard

We're sailing on a strange sea
blown by a strange wind
We're sailing on a strange sea
blown by a strange wind
Carrying the strangest crew
that ever sinned

We're riding in a strange car
we're followin' a strange star
We're climbing on the strangest ladder
that was ever there to climb

We're living in a strange time
working for a strange goal
We're living in a strange time
working for a strange goal
We're turning flesh and body

into soul

These lyrics pretty much capture our life right now... strange. Everything is strange: a strange place, a strange culture, a strange journey, a strange (but lovely) group of people, a strange purpose, a strange message. But it's the best strangeness in the world. 

"Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own..." -Genesis 15.13
